What really happened during Phoenix's 'silent night'

More details from that gloomy Phoenix Christmas party a couple of days ago have surfaced. It's even sadder now with more members of the team shedding light on that "silent night."

Like most normal groups of people at this time of the year, the Fuel Masters celebrated the holidays, but with the team coming off back-to-back losses by a combined 63 points, there was really nothing to be happy about.

"It’s hard to have fun and enjoy after coming off two bad losses. The last time we played well was the third quarter of the Mahindra game (last Dec. 4), so it has been a pretty long time," added rookie Matthew Wright.

True enough, that Christmas party was so dark head coach Ariel Vanguardia actually shed some tears while talking about it following Phoenix's win over Meralco Wednesday, a victory that put the Fuel Masters right on the winning track four days before the actual Christmas.
